AI Thread Summary
Recent advancements in solving the Three Body Problem have emerged, particularly through the use of deep artificial neural networks (DNNs). A notable article published in Nature discusses a statistical approach to this complex problem, while a preprint on arXiv presents another group's findings using similar DNN techniques. However, the term "solved" may be misleading, as these methods provide approximate solutions rather than definitive answers. The DNNs are designed to replicate the functions generated by numerical integrators, resulting in a constant-computational cost for these approximations. Overall, these developments represent significant progress in the field of celestial mechanics.

"Solved" is maybe too strong a word for that paper... DNN's are trained to approximate the functions produced by numerical integrators. This leads to a constant-computational cost approximate solution. As far as I can tell anyways...

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and formerly designated as A11pl3Z, is an iinterstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile on 1 July 2025. Note: it was mentioned (as A11pl3Z) by DaveE in a new member's introductory thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/brian-cox-lead-me-here.1081670/post-7274146 https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/ One...
